A lot of great applications to living life more efficiently. My wife at first thought the book was a gimmick. Almost quarter of the way through and still haven't done one recipe, but I'm still learning how to get my mind in the right mentality to really elevate my skills in the kitchen.

Tuttobene's Pizzeria
By far and away my favorite pizza near LIC where I live. Now if you live
near me by the water. We have Bella Via Restaurant, San Remo Pizza,
Testaccio, Manducatis Rustica, Masso, Juniors Cafe and lastly Food
Cellar which imo is the best value in the neighborhood. As for quality I
like Testaccio the best, but again a little more pricy then I would go
w/ Bella Via. That Andrew Iadelucahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08986295383335506029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495899325143569438.post-4096911345246645702012-11-27T17:47:00.000-08:002012-11-27T17:51:55.955-08:00Grandma's Meatballs
Grandma's Meatballs
In my family the recipe was passed down from my Sicilian Grandmother to my parents in Bay Ridge Brooklyn, NY to me. It all starts from animals my Grandmother had access to and her parents back on there farm in Italy. I have a reason to believe that a Traditional Italian Meatball comes from a COW. Meaning the ingredients they started w/ were Beef and Veal end of discussion.
